This is all happening in public housing. Nbc bay area cheryl hurd joins us in San Francisco this evening. Cheryl, this is a sensitive and emotional case. Reporter very much so, raj. In fact, wellknown attorney Christopher Dolan is now helping this family. He filed this letter under the freedom of information act. The family wants to know how and why their loved ones died. Im faulting San Francisco housing authority. Im faulting hud. And i want answers. Reporter lynn westrys great nephew Santana Williams and his mother, died in a fire that swept through their twostory apartment in the sunnydale district. It happened one month ago today, and the family says they still dont know what happened. What can we do . We dont deserve answers . Do their life not matter because they lived in the projects . He didnt even get to go to kindergarten. He didnt get to start his life yet. This could have been prevented. Reporter a preliminary report released last week says that the fire started in the living room of the twostory apartment on brookdale avenue. Mother and son were found in the bathroom on the second floor. The report also said smoke detectors were not working and crews didnt find a fire extinguisher in the apartment. Weve asked for the last time that they maintain these units, the last time they inspected them, the last time that they had any type of trouble. Reporter we reached out to the Fire Department and the San Francisco housing authority. A spokesperson from each Department Says they cannot comment on the fire because the investigation is not complete. So tonight the family held a vigil. They held hands, praying for answers to why this 3yearold and his mother were taken away from them so soon. I cant bring that one back. I need justice for my son, for his mother. Reporter authorities tell me tonight they have no idea when this investigation will be complete. Reporting live in San Francisco, im cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. New at 11 00 tonight, an active crime scene in oakland where police are investigating the shooting of two people, one of them a child. The other is a man in his 40s or 50s. This unfolded at 6 30 this evening on 66th avenue off international boulevard. Both victims have gone to the hospital, but their conditions havent been released. At this point police are not saying if they have a suspect or a motive. A 25yearold husband and father has been identified as san joses 17th homicide victim of the year. Officers called to gridley street in East San Jose last night. They were told someone had been shot. But before police arrived, family members had taken the victim to the hospital. Jimmy copa died soon after. My son was a very helpful person. He was a good man, a good father, a good son. Im going to miss him very much. Son, i love you, my only son. I love him very much. He was a good man. Thats all i got to tell you. His family says copas was coming home from the gas station when he was shot. No one has been identified as a suspect, and police arent saying if the shooting is gangrelated. The director of the mayors Gang Task Force says it is about to provide recreation and other options to keep kids off streets. There is already an obstacle at sfo. The airport is shutting down two runways for months of construction. This will impact travelers, and it changes the flight pattern along the peninsula. Nbc bay areas jean elle joins us at sfo with more on what to expect. Jean . Reporter raj, starting tomorrow, sfo goes to just two runways for people taking off, it means possible delays. For people who live in nearby neighborhoods, it means more airplane noise. Planes take off and land on all four runways at sfo. You wont see this much activity again until august or september. Sfo is shutting down two runways for the summer to make federally mandated safety improvements. For passengers, the shutdown means flight delays. All arriving and departing flights will share the same two runways. Reporter airplane spokesperson says departing travelers will be the most impacted, waiting longer to take off. There will also be fewer flights to choose from. Airlines at sfo have voluntarily reduced their flight schedules this summer to accommodate some of this work activity. Reporter bridget is already booked on a flight out of sfo. She is preparing for a delay. I am flying june 4th to hawaii. So i guess maybe there will be a delay. We are going to sit on the runway and say our prayer, right . Reporter metering rights are expected to help limit the lineup. She is thinking about taking her daughter daisy on a trip. She plans to explore other airport options to avoid a long weight with a 4yearold. Its pretty tedious. Reporter delays wont be the only construction headache. Takeoff patterns will change, send mortgage planes over south San Francisco, san bruno and pacifica. Residents got a letter in the mail explaining the shift. Its going to be noisy. It doesnt make me too excited. We look for it to be having peace when we go home. So it sounds like its going to be interrupted. Reporter others say its all part of life near a busy airport. Ive lived here all my life. And i dont even Pay Attention anymore. Reporter folks here at the airport tell me this project should wrap up some time in september, or august, if things go well. Reporting live at sfo, jean elle, nbc bay area news. Thank you, jean. Airport security may be getting more hightech. Fallout from the teen stowaway this san jose. East bay representative eric swallow today pointed out thousands of acres as each bay area airport fence line has to be secured. He said fencing like this could be the answer. Existing Technology Made in Southern California. Its equipped with a microphone and sensors, and its been compared to a spiderweb. Whether somebody is cutting the fence or somebody is climbing the fence or digging under the fence. And for that matter, shooting over the fence, such as you had in Northern California last year, people shooting at transformers. He is referring to last years vandalism attack on a south san jose substation. That is still unsolved. Well, an arsonist may be to blame for several fires set on hillsides in novato overnight. Police are adding extra patrols to the crossroads neighborhood where many of the fires occurred within minutes of each other. The fires burned grass and brush, but thankful fiscal cliff never grew very large. Crews collected evidence today. Fire Officials Say the brazenness of the crime is stunning. A hot, dry weather fueled this brushfire today in the santa cruz mountains. Seven acres burned near mt. Madonna. It is fully contained tonight. However, crews are still onsite, checking for hot spots. It started before 4 00 this afternoon off summit road. This is along the border of santa clara and santa cruz counties. Its a remote, rugged area far from homes. But there was a greenhouse type of structure down below that did catch fire. No one was injured, and no word yet on the cause. Well, they are making progress tonight, the thousands of firefighters who are fighting the series of firefighters down south in san diego county. And the first arson charges have been filed. Officers charged a 57yearold man today in connection with one of the smaller fires. Two teenagers are also facing arson charges in connection with two other fires. Firefighters found one body burned in a homeless encampment. At least ten wildfires erupted in Southern California throughout this week. Now firefighters from all over the state including here in the bay area are helping the cause. The Santa Clara County strike team emailed these photos to us. They have 26 firefighters on the ground. Theyve worked the cocos fire in san marcos and the poinsettia fire in carlsbad. Hiding in plane sight. Authority says the former cal fire chief accused of killing his girlfriend never venture far from his home after that may 1 killing. Police arrested orrville flemming today outside of sacramento as he was boarding a bus. Authorities say he had been hiding in dense vegetation in the area for the past 16 days, but he came out to go shopping. Now flemming disappeared after the body of his girlfriend was found inside their home in sacramento. Fl flemming is now cooperating with investigators. Good evening. Im jeff ranieri. Our fire danger will continue to go down as we head to this upcoming weekend. Fog is building from point reyes to San Francisco. Well let you know how much of this fog will stick around for your weekend forecast coming up in few minutes. Also, palo alto hits the big screen. Why the hollywood depiction of this bay area city is raising some eyebrows. Plus, it was just a regular tuxedo. How a girls decision to wear it sparked a year of controversy at a local catholic school. And she wore them every day since 1940. But thieves took something priceless from this 94yearold woman. A bizarre yet dangerous warning tonight. If you find a container like this, stand back. Silicon valley soil engineering told police the container has Radioactive Material inside of it. It was stolen from the back of a company pickup truck this morning in san jose. The material could pose a health risk to the person who is directly exposed to it or who tampers with it. If you see it, leave it alone and call police. Car burglars are certainly common, but sometimes what is stolen from a vehicle can be rare. 94yearold betty leerys hands are bare today for the first time in 74 years. Thats how long she has been wearing her wedding rings. She only took them off while hospitalized. Her son put them in her wallet and tucked into it a laptop case. While at a san jose restaurant, though, where he parked under a lit stoplight, that did not stop a burglar who smashed a rear window. I think they expected of course to get a laptop. Thats what they thought they were getting. But all they got was a bunch of papers that would mean nothing to them but meant a lot to my son. And then he just happened to have my wallet. First time he has ever had my rings. Family is devastated and passing out flyers, hoping to get the rings back. They say no questions asked. They only want the rings. Bettys father was a jeweller and he made the wedding ring for her. They were taken just three days before bettys 74th anniversary. Well, this is the photo, the graduation photo that sparked a controversial move by sacred heart in San Francisco. The school didnt like that Jessica Urbina wore a tux for her senior portrait. So it pulled the photograph from the year book. When other students heard about the move; they showed up today wearing ties to show support for their classmate. Honestly, ive cried multiple times. Im overwhelmed with all the support. I want to thank everybody who is supporting me right now. The school says only boys are supposed to wear a suit for the senior portrait. But in a Statement Released this afternoon, the school says, quote, these events have sparked a campus wide dialogue, which will result in a revision of our policy. Well, new at 11 00, the dose of hollywood on the peninsula. Its a coming of age movie. And many say the story could be about any town in the united states. But the film is named palo alto. And that is what has some people upset about the movie. Nbc bay areas Kimberly Tere is live in menlo park where the film is playing. Reporter yeah, right now this is the only theater close to palo alto that is playing this movie. And for those who watched it while theyre giving us some very different reviews. For many, this is palo alto, a city along the peninsula known for its hightech prodigies, a bustling downtown, and stanford. But for jia coppola, this is palo alto. The 27yearold made her debut with a film she wrote and directed based on James Francos book palo alto, a collection of dark and racy and troubled stories about palo alto. Why palo alto . Franco grew up there. Its short stories that he wrote. So i assume its his impression because he lived here in palo alto and went to school here. Reporter franco worked closely with coppola to develop the movie. But those who saw it say its not an accurate reflection of its namesake. If i lived in palo alto, i would be incensed that they name midcity after this movie. I liked it. I mean, dont just put a blanket label. I think it could be anywhere. Anywhere usa. I think the movie expressed a part of palo alto, but it certainly didnt express the whole story. It seemed to focus on one segment of kids, population. Reporter moviegoers say the foam doesnt back down on tackling tough issues like teen suicide, sex, drugs, and pedophilia. It seems like it was very real. And it was sort of uncomfortable to watch. Reporter tonight coppola was in San Francisco to speak to moviegoers herself. I hope that, you know, people can connect with the emotions and especially teenagers and can relate to some of the stories that are being told. Reporter tomorrow coppola will be in menlo park for q a session after the 4 45 and 7 15 shows here, again in menlo park. Live in menlo park, Kimberly Tere, nbc bay area news. Very interesting. Thank you, kimberly. Well, oprah is on hold. The Reality Tv Show about michael sam has been put on hold. The Oprah Winfrey network announced it will postpone the production after the rams rookie faced criticism this week. Sam, as you probably know became the nfls first openly gay draft pick last weekend. During a news conference, sam said he wanted to focus on making the team and eliminate any distractions. After oprahs network announced the documentary network, people wanted to know if he wanted to be a pro Football Player or a tv star. His agent released a Statement Today saying his client and the team felt it was better to delay oprahs joint project with the player. Lets check in with meteorologist jeff ranieri. We have seen such a range of temperatures in one week, jeff. To sum it up again, it has been a wild weather week, as many of you know. We just wanted to recap here. The hottest day of the week, just in case youre keeping track was wednesday. Thats sent temperatures at the coastline to the interior valleys ranged 91 to 102 degrees. The hottest week of 2014. And of course this was the hottest day on wednesday. This did break records that were more than 80 years old in many cases. But by today, check it out. This picture that was sent in to me, you can see the bottom of the screen. That light there that is the marine layer that built up across San Francisco. And thats what happened to Cool Temperatures anywhere from 15 to 25 degrees. So you can thank the marine layer for getting the temperatures down. Ill take some of the credit. But again, most of it due to this fog. Lets get a look here at the fog right now off the coastline that you can see. Its the thickest across the northern end, right off the coastline here of napa. Through point reyes, San Francisco getting in on some fog, even a little drizzle near sfo. But you can see towards santa cruz, there is not much in the way of fog, but i do think by tomorrow morning, well definitely have some of that build in. So lets take you to Sky Camera Network right now. The number one chill it there. If you have opened the door and stepped outside at all in the north bay, you know its there. 55 degrees right now. We could actually have some 40s for overnight lows there. Nine mile visibility in the south bay. You can see the moon pretty clearly. But we want to take you to San Francisco again. Not only the fog, but we do think with still some area of High Pressure aloft, its helping to compress out some of this moisture at the lower levels, we may actually get some continued drizzle into tomorrow morning. You want to watch out for that. Also some gusty winds if youre headed to the coastline. Lets get you into the big thing for this weekend. No chance. No way, no how of any 10046 degree temperatures. Weve got the jet stream overhead. Thats going to keep that cool flow in place. So as we head throughout tomorrow morning, most importantly, you can see by 7 00 a. M. , our futurecast is showing widespread cloud cover here from the north bay down to the south bay. Even some low clouds for the east bay. As we head throughout the late morning hours, i think that fog is pretty much going to stay put. Were going have a hard time shaking it. By about 1 00 in the afternoon, well start to see that clear back and we should have some sunnier skies that is going to mean some major differences in our temperatures. Youre going to see in our microclimate trend half moon bay. And the cloudy skies. Walnut creek, if you want the sun, head there. 81 degrees. Just a little bit above average. But some awesome weather. Lets take you to the full microclimate forecast. A little cooler in saratoga gag with 78. And the cool breeze near san mateo should drop you to 70 degrees. Also 78 in palo alto. In San Francisco, 69 along the embarcadero. Hayes valley, 67. In the marina, 65. The wind kicks up, it will probably feel like the 50s for tomorrow. Well take you to the north bay, east bay and trivalley. Napa 79. And for oakland, that breeze off the bay, 73 degrees for you. And for the trivalley, 82 in danville. Pleasanton at 81. So as we get a look at the weekend forecast, what we are expecting is the best weather for saturday. Then as we head throughout sunday, even a little cooler. I want to bring you the rain outlook here. Again, we are expecting a slight chance of maybe some showers as we head throughout tuesday of next week. Most of it across the sierra. But we actually could see a slight chance of showers across the bay. Right now its only a 20 or 30 possibility. But we may actually get some rain by next week. Unbelievable. But the weekend looks good. Im ready for it. Thank you, jeff. Still ahead, that heroic cat who saved a boy turns to baseball. Well sort it out for you. We also have our friend jimmy.

Mark jackson might have a new story. Stay with us. Good evening. Im Geraud Moncure in the Comcast Sportsnet studios. The giants won 16 of their last 21 because of contributions made from the entire roster. Petite on the hill for the marlins, throwing for his third win in place of the injured hudson.

Christian yelich scores. Florida tacks on one more to win, 75. Weve been playing well. I mean, were going to put this behind us. You know, if youre going to have games like this, its not going to go your way. They knocked in the winning run. They had eyes and got through the infield. Thats the way this game goes. Kicking off their ninegame roadie versus the indians. Game tied in the second, josh reddick stepping to the base. Bases loaded. No careless whisper, no worries. Grand slam to right off zach mccallister. 51, athletics. Later in the same inning, two aboard for josh donaldson. Crushed and gone. Oakland 4 for 4 with runners in scoring position in the inning.

A lot of talk about a blister in the throat of California Chrome. His connections say its a nonissue. So assuming everything is all right, can he win the preakness . Yeah, he can win. But he still needs a little bit of racing luck, as he did in the kentucky derby, breaking well as he did in the derby and allowing his jockey Victor Espinosa to use the speed to keep him from getting boxed in. If that happens, i think he will make the run on the far turn, open the race up when they hit the stretch, and katie bar the door. Well find out on saturday if California Chrome can stay alive in his quest for that elusive triple crown. All right. And finally the New York Post reporting mark jackson is now one of the prime candidates for the job head coach of the new york knicks. The report says jackson will be interviewed along with several others. He is from brooklyn, played at st. Johns collegiately and with the knicks twice during his 17year nba career. Have a great weekend. More news coming up after the break. Weekend is here, and jeff ranieri has been crunching numbers all week. I know. Yes. My fingers are sore going from that 100 degrees down into the 70s tomorrow. South bay 78 is your average. San francisco a cool 69. The trivalley will be one of the warmest with 80 along the north bay at 81. But it gets even cooler as we head throughout sunday with 73 in the south bay. And were looking at 77 in the north bay. And by the way, if youre headed to the bay to breakers on sunday, expect temperatures in the 60s. Dress warm. Yes. Or at least just dress. Im just saying. Its a big weekend for a lot of us.
